Our Story

John-Paul Habermann, Managing Director, founded The Franconian Sausage Company in 1999. A trained chef, John-Paul had a dream to create exceptional sausages for the restaurant trade. The challenge was to do this on a large scale without compromising his standards for excellence.

Using the best quality ingredients Franconian produce sausages with meat content between 90% and 98%. All our recipes are authentic and carefully created by John-Paul and his team. We work on each recipe until we have the perfect taste.

All our products are freshly made to order each day and delivered the next day.

We do not use additives, fillers, artificial colours or artificial flavorings. We have our own smoking and curing facilities on site and are able to pre-poach sausages on request.

Over the years Franconian’s reputation has continued to grow by word-of-mouth and customer satisfaction – we supply London’s finest restaurants and the catering industry.

Franconian is a SALSA accredited food manufacturer and has fully verified meat traceability.

Client Testimonials

"Excellent customer service delivering products within tight timescale in perfect chilled condition. Ordered specialist sausages and they were fantastic really making the Cajun dish taste authentic. Would not hesitate to use again and try some of the other products on offer."
Jon Pettit
"I had to try these local produced sausages after a recommendation from a friend in the catering trade and they did not disappoint. Ordered 6+ different types and started with the original frank, twas delicious. The perfect frankfurter texture and flavour. Large in size too so fits any bun nicely. The beef dog is top notch too, working on the others now!... Will buy again, perfect for parties and big occasions."
Russell Wickham
"I ordered the Kasekrainer for my son who’s a real fan. He absolutely loves them. Delivery was very good with sausages surrounded by ice packs in perfect condition. Very good product and service."
Laurence Casey
